Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Poplar, Greater London
Problem with your toilet in Poplar? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our toilet chip repair in Poplar
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Poplar
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poplar
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poplar use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
