Toilet chip repair in Hare 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 will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hare, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Hare
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hare
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
