Toilet chip repair near Hammerpot

Toilet chip repair in Hammerpot without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Hammerpot?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hammerpot, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammerpot use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Hammerpot

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Hammerpot is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
