Need toilet chip repair in London?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we handle toilet chip repair in London

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in London as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to London. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in London, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

London: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need toilet chip repair in London

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
