What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
About our toilet chip repair in Hawkedon
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Hawkedon
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawkedon
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Hawkedon
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
