Toilet chip repair in Tolleshunt Knights, done in place
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tolleshunt Knights as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairing versus replacing in Tolleshunt Knights
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
