Toilet chip repair at your home in Sidlesham
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Questions from Sidlesham
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Sidlesham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we’re called out for in Sidlesham
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
