Advice

Toilet chip repair in Kensal Town without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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)

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

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

Repairing versus replacing in Kensal Town

A new toilet means 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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Kensal Town

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
