Toilet chip repair in South Acton without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

South Acton questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for South Acton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in South Acton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
