Toilet chip repair in Great Oakley without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Oakley
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Oakley. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Great Oakley questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
