Toilet chip repair in Hildersham, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hildersham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Hildersham: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
