Toilet chip repair in Wivenhoe without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Vitreous china

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wivenhoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
