Toilet chip repair in Bishop's Stortford without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Stortford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishop's Stortford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.

What we can’t put right

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
