How we handle toilet chip repair in Crawley

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Crawley. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Crawley: your questions answered

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
