Toilet chip repair in Hooley, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Hooley: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Hooley and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Hooley?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Common reasons people in Hooley contact us include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hooley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hooley. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Repairing versus replacing in Hooley

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
