How we handle toilet chip repair in Row Green
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Advice

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

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

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
