How we handle toilet chip repair in South Hayling

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Hayling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in South Hayling

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Hayling

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
