Common questions in Burlow
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Toilet chip repair in Burlow, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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 are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burlow, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
