Arkesden questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
About our toilet chip repair in Arkesden
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Arkesden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Arkesden
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Arkesden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arkesden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
