How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitesmith
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitesmith
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitesmith. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china

- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Whitesmith
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Whitesmith?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whitesmith and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What we’re called out for in Whitesmith
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
