Choosing a repair company

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hinton

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Hinton

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Honest limits

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hinton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Hinton clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
