How we handle toilet chip repair in Horndon on the Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Somewhere like Horndon on the Hill, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Horndon on the Hill, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Horndon on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
