Toilet chip repair in Stonecrouch, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Stonecrouch

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stonecrouch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Stonecrouch

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
