About our toilet chip repair in Lee-over-Sands

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lee-over-Sands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Lee-over-Sands

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
