Toilet chip repair in Holwell, done in place
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Holwell
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

FAQs for Holwell
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Holwell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
