About our toilet chip repair in Wapping

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Wapping

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

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

Repair or replace in Wapping?

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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

What we do, step by step

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. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Questions from Wapping

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Wapping. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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.
