Toilet chip repair in Houndscroft, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping 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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Houndscroft
For anyone letting property in or around Houndscroft, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole toilet
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Houndscroft
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
