Toilet chip repair in Poverest, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poverest use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Advice
Repair or replace in Poverest?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Poverest
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Poverest. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Poverest, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
