Toilet chip repair in Upper Clapton, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Upper Clapton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Upper Clapton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Clapton and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

How it works

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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Upper Clapton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
