About our toilet chip repair in Surrey Quays

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Surrey Quays and across Greater London. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Surrey Quays questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Surrey Quays, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice

What affects the price in Surrey Quays

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Surrey Quays. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

What we’re called out for in Surrey Quays

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
