Toilet chip repair in Hognaston, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hognaston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Hognaston
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Hognaston
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
