When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Three Horse Shoes

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Three Horse Shoes as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we’re called out for in Three Horse Shoes

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

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

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Three Horse Shoes questions

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you work in Three Horse Shoes?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Three Horse Shoes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Three Horse Shoes?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Three Horse Shoes?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Three Horse Shoes

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive
