Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cove
Are there extra charges for Cove?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Cove
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Cove
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Cove
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cove. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole toilet
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
