About our toilet chip repair in Tolleshunt Major
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Tolleshunt Major
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Tolleshunt Major?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM9 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tolleshunt Major. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
