About our toilet chip repair in Horringer
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Horringer
If you manage property in Horringer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Horringer. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Horringer. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Horringer and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
