Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Toilet chip repair in Alderminster without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Alderminster
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Alderminster?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Alderminster get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
What we are called out for in Alderminster
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
