How we handle toilet chip repair in Hipley
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hipley and across Hampshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Hipley
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hipley. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
