Rustington questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Toilet chip repair in Rustington, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rustington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rustington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Rustington
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
