Trusted toilet chip repair in Elsenham

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Elsenham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Elsenham

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Elsenham. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Elsenham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
