Bawdsey: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Are there extra charges for Bawdsey?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Bawdsey?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bawdsey and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Toilet chip repair in Bawdsey without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bawdsey. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
When to call us in Bawdsey
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:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
