How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Preston. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Preston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Preston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair in West Preston without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in West Preston?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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 clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
