- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hurst Wickham
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Hurst Wickham: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hurst Wickham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Hurst Wickham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
