Toilet chip repair in Hovingham, done in place
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’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Hovingham
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Hovingham
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hovingham
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
