Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Waterloo

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Waterloo: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Waterloo?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Waterloo

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
