Toilet chip repair for St Lawrence Bay homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in St Lawrence Bay

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from St Lawrence Bay

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
