Toilet chip repair at your home in Hastingleigh
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Hastingleigh
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hastingleigh. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastingleigh
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastingleigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
