Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Sedlescombe, East Sussex
We travel to Sedlescombe for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

Toilet chip repair in Sedlescombe, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- The material and finish

- How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Sedlescombe: your questions answered
Do you work in Sedlescombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sedlescombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Sedlescombe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
