Toilet chip repair for Hastings homes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hastings

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you have marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right.

In a large place like Hastings, many bathrooms have matching suites, so repairing one damaged piece keeps the set together.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we are called out for in Hastings

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

If you let a flat or house near St Leonards Warrior Square station (about 0.9 miles south), we repair toilets between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In a busy place like Hastings, replacing a toilet means booking trades, parking for their vans and taking the old one away. Toilet chip repair is one visit.

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Hastings: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Hastings?

In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. We repair toilets between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What affects the price in Hastings

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hastings. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up. For central parts of Hastings, parking can take a little planning, so tell us if there is a driveway or permit parking. Outside the centre, it’s rarely an issue.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hastings, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
