How we handle toilet chip repair in Ansty

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Ansty

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Ansty?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ansty. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
