FAQs for Hanwell
Do you cover Hanwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hanwell and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hanwell?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your W7 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Toilet chip repair in Hanwell without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hanwell and across Greater London. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach

How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your W7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
