Repair or replace in Hammer?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Toilet chip repair in Hammer, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hammer. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Hammer get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammer use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
