Advice
Toilet chip repair in Horn Hill, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horn Hill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horn Hill. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horn Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Horn Hill questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
