Book toilet chip repair in Hilltop

Toilet chip repair in Hilltop, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Hilltop

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Hilltop

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilltop

If you manage property in Hilltop, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
