Toilet chip repair in Great Totham without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Great Totham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common questions in Great Totham
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What else we do in Great Totham
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
