Toilet chip repair in Tendring, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Tendring
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tendring
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Tendring?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tendring and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Tendring?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CO16 postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
