About our toilet chip repair in Poynings
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Poynings. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus

What else we do in Poynings
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
