- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Hornchurch
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we are called out for in Hornchurch
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
