Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

About our toilet chip repair in Pell Green

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

In and around Pell Green, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Pell Green questions

Do you work for schools and businesses in Pell Green?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Pell Green?

Normally, yes. Older toilets are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Pell Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Pell Green, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
