Toilet chip repair for Temple homes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Toilet chip repair in Temple without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Temple as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Temple. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Temple

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

FAQs for Temple

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you work in Temple?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Temple. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Temple?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Temple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
