Trusted toilet chip repair in Ditchling Common

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our toilet chip repair in Ditchling Common

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ditchling Common and across West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Ditchling Common?
