About our toilet chip repair in Crawley End
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
In and around Crawley End, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Older homes around Crawley End may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
