Toilet chip repair at your home in Holbrook
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Holbrook
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Holbrook
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
What affects the price in Holbrook
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
