Landlord and trade work in Gilbert Street
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Toilet chip repair in Gilbert Street without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Gilbert Street
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Gilbert Street?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we’re called out for in Gilbert Street

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gilbert Street. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
