Toilet chip repair in Hackney Marshes without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hackney Marshes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Hackney Marshes

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
