Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Toilet chip repair in Picket Piece without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Picket Piece
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Advice
Picket Piece: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
