Toilet chip repair at your home in Hankham
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
In and around Hankham, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Hankham, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Hankham: your questions answered
Can you fix toilets at a school or business in Hankham?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send photos and details of the building.
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Hankham?
Normally, yes. Older toilets are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Hankham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Common problems we fix in Hankham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
For older houses around Hankham, near landmarks such as St Luke's Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
