Toilet chip repair in Shepherd's Bush

Toilet chip repair at your home in Shepherd's Bush

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Shepherd's Bush: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

Everywhere in the UK, Shepherd's Bush included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover Shepherd's Bush?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shepherd's Bush. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shepherd's Bush

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in Shepherd's Bush

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Shepherd's Bush

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Shepherd's Bush

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
