Toilet chip repair in Stroud Green, done in place
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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Green
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
