How we handle toilet chip repair in Staines-upon-Thames
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staines-upon-Thames
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
