Toilet chip repair at your home in Pimlico
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Pimlico: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Pimlico?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pimlico use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Pimlico?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Pimlico
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
