Toilet chip repair at your home in Plumpton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Plumpton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Plumpton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Plumpton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
