Toilet chip repair in Crawley

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Toilet chip repair in Crawley without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crawley as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Crawley

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Crawley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Crawley

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Crawley questions

Do you cover Crawley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Crawley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Crawley?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SO21 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
