Trusted toilet chip repair in Summerstown

Toilet chip repair in Summerstown without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Summerstown. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SW17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Summerstown

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Summerstown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When to call us in Summerstown

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
