About our toilet chip repair in Tooting

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 the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Period homes around Tooting sometimes still have original basins and toilets, and a matching replacement can be hard to find. Repairing keeps the original.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a visit in Tooting, parking and stairs are the things to plan: let us know the floor, whether there is a lift and about permits or bays, and we’ll bring everything to the room.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Tooting

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Tooting

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

For older houses around Tooting, near landmarks such as St Augustine, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. In flats around Tooting, replacing can mean noise, dust and permission from the building’s managers. Repairing is much less disruptive.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tooting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Tooting

Is it hard to park for a visit in Tooting?

With a bit of notice, it’s rarely a problem: just mention bays, permits or off-street space when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Tooting station?

Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Tooting is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
