Toilet chip repair for Whetstone homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whetstone

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Whetstone

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Whetstone get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
