Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Theydon Garnon, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t 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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Theydon Garnon and across Essex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Theydon Garnon. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Theydon Garnon

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Theydon Garnon

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Theydon Garnon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Theydon Garnon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
