Herne Hill questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Herne Hill and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Toilet chip repair in Herne Hill, done in place
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
