Common questions in Founthill
Do you cover villages like Founthill?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.
I let a flat near Uckfield station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Founthill
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
In and around Founthill, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Founthill. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Older homes around Founthill may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
