Huggate: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Toilet chip repair in Huggate without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Huggate and across East Riding of Yorkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Huggate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
