Toilet chip repair at your home in Little Baddow
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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.
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.
Questions from Little Baddow
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Little Baddow?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
