Toilet chip repair in and around Old Hawkinge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Old Hawkinge
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Old Hawkinge
Do you work in Old Hawkinge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Hawkinge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
