Ashampstead: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ashampstead

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 tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Ashampstead

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashampstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Ashampstead, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 before booking.
