Toilet chip repair for New Cross homes

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in New Cross

  • Porcelain

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

Toilet chip repair in New Cross, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around New Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for New Cross

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you work in New Cross?

We do. We send a technician to New Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
