How we handle toilet chip repair in Merton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Merton questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Merton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Merton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

- Any details about the material
Most customers in Merton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Merton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
