Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Heybridge. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Heybridge
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid

- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
