About our toilet chip repair in Bartlow
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bartlow
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bartlow. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bartlow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Bartlow
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
