How we handle toilet chip repair in Little London

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Little London questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Little London

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Little London

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
