Toilet chip repair in Hinton without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Hinton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Hinton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hinton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Hinton

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Clients usually contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hinton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

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

Materials we repair

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