Toilet chip repair in Heron Quays, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Heron Quays, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Heron Quays: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Heron Quays?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Heron Quays and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals

What affects the price in Heron Quays
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your E14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Heron Quays?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
