What affects the price in Cape Hill
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire toilet
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Cape Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Cape Hill
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cape Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Common questions in Cape Hill
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
