About our toilet chip repair in Hopwood
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hopwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hopwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Hopwood
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hopwood. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Hopwood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Hopwood
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairing versus replacing in Hopwood
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
