Common questions in Axmouth

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Axmouth
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Axmouth
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
