How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Visits around Southover are normally simple: we park, protect the room and get started.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Toilet chip repair at your home in Southover

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Around Southover, most of the toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most chips take a short visit.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southover as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Southover?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. If your toilet in Southover is sound, a repair is generally the better choice.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Southover

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Southover. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Southover. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Southover

Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Southover?

In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from photos.

Do you work for landlords with property near Lewes station?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically 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.

Do you come to Southover?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southover from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
