Book toilet chip repair in Hampstead

Landlord and trade work in Hampstead

For anyone letting property in or around Hampstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hampstead

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hampstead

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hampstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair
