Questions from Barnwell
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Barnwell?
We do. We send a technician to Barnwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
About our toilet chip repair in Barnwell
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Do you need toilet chip repair in Barnwell?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
