Trusted toilet chip repair in St Leonards

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Toilet chip repair in St Leonards without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in St Leonards

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
