Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in Hook Green without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s 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. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hook Green
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Hook Green?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
