Toilet chip repair at your home in Ballards Gore
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Ballards Gore?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book

FAQs for Ballards Gore
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Ballards Gore?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ballards Gore from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 booking.

What affects the price in Ballards Gore
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
