Toilet chip repair at your home in Horton
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Do you need toilet chip repair in Horton?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Horton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Horton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about a leaking crack?

What else we do in Horton
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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.
What we work on

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Horton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
