Toilet chip repair in Fawley, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- 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
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fawley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
