Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Crockerhill, West Sussex

- Pieces knocked off during fitting

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Toilet chip repair in Crockerhill without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crockerhill and across West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crockerhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
