What affects the price in Ampney Crucis

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ampney Crucis. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ampney Crucis, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair in Ampney Crucis without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Ampney Crucis

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Common reasons people in Ampney Crucis contact us are:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Ampney Crucis questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Ampney Crucis?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL7 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Ampney Crucis. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Ampney Crucis

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
