How we handle toilet chip repair in Hatch

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hatch as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

Common problems we fix in Hatch

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Hatch

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Hatch and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatch

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Hatch

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Hatch?

We do. We send a technician to Hatch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Hatch?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
