About our toilet chip repair in Hareplain
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we are called out for in Hareplain
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Common reasons people in Hareplain contact us are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Hareplain
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 photos, as it can add time.
