About our toilet chip repair in Hargrave
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hargrave. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hargrave. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hargrave
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
