About our toilet chip repair in Sand Hill
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Sand Hill: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Sand Hill and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole toilet
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Sand Hill
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
