When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hawthorn

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. 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.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Hawthorn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Hawthorn

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawthorn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Hawthorn?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawthorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
