Toilet chip repair at your home in Little Clacton

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Little Clacton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Little Clacton

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO16 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Little Clacton. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
