How to compare quotes

Toilet chip repair in Lunsford's Cross without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot 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 chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

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.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Lunsford's Cross

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lunsford's Cross.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN39 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

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.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
