DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Kemptown
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Kemptown
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?
The entire UK, including all of Brighton and Hove. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Kemptown
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
