What affects the price in Old Town
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Old Town get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Toilet chip repair in Old Town without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
Around Old Town, bathrooms and cloakrooms tend to be small, where a chipped toilet is right in view. It’s repaired where it is, with nothing disconnected.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. In a London home like many in Old Town, replacing a toilet also means getting the old one out and the new one in, often up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. A repair sidesteps it.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Old Town
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Town as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare. Many jobs in Old Town are in flats, so we come prepared for stairs and narrow hallways. Everything we need fits in a few cases, and the room is sheeted before we start.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

My house in Old Town is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
