Landlords, agents and businesses in Kensington

If you manage property in Kensington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Kensington

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Kensington

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your W11 postcode.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kensington. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.

  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
