Toilet chip repair in Furnace Green without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Furnace Green and across West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Furnace Green
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Furnace Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
