Toilet Chip Repair for Hawkshaw homes
Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in Hawkshaw, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Hawkshaw
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hawkshaw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
