Toilet chip repair in Shottenden, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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 cistern lid, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Shottenden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Shottenden
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Shottenden
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shottenden?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send photos?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Shottenden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
