Toilet chip repair for Kennington homes

About our toilet chip repair in Kennington

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Kennington

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kennington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Kennington?

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Kennington

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Kennington

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Kennington and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

  • Toilet pans

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
