Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mashbury. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Mashbury
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
Somewhere like Mashbury, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Mashbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Common questions in Mashbury
My house in Mashbury is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Usually: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we’ll quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you cover Mashbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mashbury and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans

Signs it’s time to call us include:

- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Replacement in Mashbury means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
