Toilet Chip Repair in St Helen's
Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in St Helen's, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Toilet chip repair at your home in St Helen's
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Helen's and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
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 price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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 we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
St Helen's: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
