How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

About our toilet chip repair in Hoby

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hoby and across Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hoby

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hoby included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need toilet chip repair in Hoby?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
