Repairing versus replacing in Greenstead Green
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

About our toilet chip repair in Greenstead Green
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Greenstead Green
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Questions from Greenstead Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenstead Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
