Toilet chip repair in Ower without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

What else we do in Ower
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Ower, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Ower
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Ower included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace in Ower?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
