Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Backwell Common, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Backwell Common, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Backwell Common: your questions answered

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Backwell Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Backwell Common

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
