Toilet chip repair at your home in South Benfleet
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. 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 damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Getting a price from photos

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
