About our toilet chip repair in Monk Street
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Monk Street questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Monk Street?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Monk Street. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Monk Street and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Monk Street
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
