Toilet chip repair in Battle, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Battle

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Battle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Battle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
