About our toilet chip repair in Quendon
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Quendon?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Quendon
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Quendon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Quendon
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quendon questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Quendon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Quendon and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
