Toilet chip repair in Hollington without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Hollington

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Questions from Hollington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hollington?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hollington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Hollington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Hollington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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