Toilet chip repair in Roydon Hamlet without replacing anything
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Roydon Hamlet
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Roydon Hamlet and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Roydon Hamlet
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
