How we handle toilet chip repair in Fiddlers Hamlet
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fiddlers Hamlet. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
