Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our toilet chip repair in Ball o' Ditton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Ball o' Ditton
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- A picture taken from further back
