How we handle toilet chip repair in Hellman's Cross
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hellman's Cross: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Hellman's Cross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Hellman's Cross
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hellman's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
