How we handle toilet chip repair in Howe
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Howe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for Howe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Howe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Howe and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Howe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
