About our toilet chip repair in South Hanningfield
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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in South Hanningfield
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

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

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Your questions about toilet chip repair in South Hanningfield
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so South Hanningfield is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
