How we handle toilet chip repair in Mowden
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Mowden
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Mowden?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Mowden?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mowden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mowden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
