Toilet chip repair in Hooton without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Hooton?
A new toilet means 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

What we’re called out for in Hooton
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hooton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
