Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Udimore

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Udimore and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Udimore questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Udimore?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.
