About our toilet chip repair in Wivenhoe Quay
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Wivenhoe Quay
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wivenhoe Quay. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Wivenhoe Quay and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Wivenhoe Quay: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in Wivenhoe Quay?
We do. We send a technician to Wivenhoe Quay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
