Toilet chip repair at your home in Balcombe
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Balcombe. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: 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’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Balcombe
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Balcombe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What else we do in Balcombe
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
