Toilet chip repair in Ashburnham, 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. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Somewhere like Ashburnham, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Ashburnham: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Will you travel to Ashburnham?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ashburnham. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Repair or replace in Ashburnham?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Ashburnham, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
