Toilet chip repair at your home in Tarpots
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Tarpots
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
