Trusted toilet chip repair in Little Somborne

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Toilet chip repair in Little Somborne, 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 tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

What affects the price in Little Somborne

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
