How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Kilburn

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Kilburn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilburn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

Common questions in Kilburn

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet

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 will get a fixed figure back.
