What a repair can’t fix

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Heckingham
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Heckingham
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Heckingham and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Heckingham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Heckingham
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
