Toilet chip repair in The Sands without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for The Sands
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you come to The Sands?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to The Sands and the rest of Surrey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in The Sands.
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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in The Sands
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
