Toilet chip repair near Mill Hill

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mill Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

Toilet chip repair in Mill Hill without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
