Questions from Sandling
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover Sandling?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandling and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Sandling
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Sandling
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandling
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
Take a look at our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
