Toilet chip repair in Hoveton without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Hoveton questions
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Hoveton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
