Toilet chip repair at your home in Colchester
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
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.
Common questions in Colchester
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Colchester?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace in Colchester?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colchester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
