How we handle toilet chip repair in West Dulwich

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Dulwich use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in West Dulwich

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What affects the price in West Dulwich

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in West Dulwich and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Our hiring checklist

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
