About our toilet chip repair in Kew

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Kew

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kew

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Kew clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Questions from Kew

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
