What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Medstead

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not 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 usually cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Medstead

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Medstead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Medstead

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover Medstead?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Medstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
