Common questions in Richmond
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Richmond?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Richmond from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Richmond
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Richmond as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

What else we do in Richmond
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: 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 look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
