Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Ivy Chimneys, Essex
Damaged toilet in Ivy Chimneys? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Toilet chip repair in Ivy Chimneys without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ivy Chimneys. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
