How we handle toilet chip repair in Howe Street

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Howe Street: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Howe Street.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Common problems we fix in Howe Street

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts 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 you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Howe Street

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
