Toilet chip repair at your home in Foxash Estate

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us 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 in Foxash Estate and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Foxash Estate

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Foxash Estate

Replacing a 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’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow an hour or two.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Foxash Estate

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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