About our toilet chip repair in Northall
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Northall: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northall. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
If you are in Northall and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
