We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our toilet chip repair in Howegreen

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Howegreen and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Howegreen: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.

Do you come to Howegreen?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Howegreen and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
