Landlord and trade work in Smithfield
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smithfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Toilet chip repair in Smithfield, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice

Also in Smithfield
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Smithfield
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smithfield. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Smithfield
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Smithfield?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
