Toilet chip repair at your home in Frating
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Frating

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Frating
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Before we arrive
