For landlords and businesses

Toilet chip repair in Gubbion's Green, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gubbion's Green. The price reflects:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gubbion's Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water

What else we do in Gubbion's Green
Common problems we fix in Gubbion's Green
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Gubbion's Green questions
Do you cover Gubbion's Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gubbion's Green and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
