Landlord and trade work in Southgate
If you manage property in Southgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Toilet chip repair in Southgate without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Southgate
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Southgate
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
