Toilet chip repair in Five Ashes, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Five Ashes and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Five Ashes: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Five Ashes?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN20 postcode.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Five Ashes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
