Book toilet chip repair in Hawcoat

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hawcoat

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawcoat. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawcoat

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hawcoat questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you work in Hawcoat?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawcoat from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We cover the entire UK, including Hawcoat and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Hawcoat

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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