Toilet chip repair for Hanwell homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Toilet chip repair in Hanwell, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hanwell as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Hanwell

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When to call us in Hanwell

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
