About our toilet chip repair in Ae
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ae and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Ae
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Ae
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ae
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Ae
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
