Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Lower Common, Hampshire
Toilet chip repair in and around Lower Common: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Toilet chip repair in Lower Common without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Common questions in Lower Common
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Lower Common?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Lower Common, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
