Rusper questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Rusper

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rusper. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rusper. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Rusper

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
