Toilet chip repair near Molehill Green

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Toilet chip repair in Molehill Green without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Molehill Green

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 will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Molehill Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
