Toilet chip repair at your home in Sissinghurst
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Sissinghurst
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

For rail, the closest station is Staplehurst station, roughly 4.3 miles north. Further afield, we also cover the area around Sissinghurst Castle (1.1 miles east) and Benenden Hospital (3.1 miles south-east).
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sissinghurst. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
