Toilet chip repair in Twelve Oaks

Toilet chip repair in Twelve Oaks, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Twelve Oaks. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Twelve Oaks, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Twelve Oaks is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
