Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
About our toilet chip repair in The Hythe
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
In a smaller place like The Hythe, the jobs are mostly in family bathrooms. Most chips take a short visit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Hythe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it. Around The Hythe, access and parking are normally easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The Hythe: your questions answered
Can you repair toilets at a school or business in The Hythe?
Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in The Hythe?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
Do you cover The Hythe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Hythe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?

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.
Common problems we fix in The Hythe
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
In the older streets of The Hythe, around landmarks like Church of St Leonard at the Hythe, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Around The Hythe, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
