Toilet chip repair near Ruislip Gardens

Toilet chip repair in Ruislip Gardens, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

What affects the price in Ruislip Gardens

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ruislip Gardens. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
