Toilet chip repair in Stanmer, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Stanmer and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanmer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
