Common questions in Birling Gap
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Birling Gap?
Normally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from photos.
Do you cover villages like Birling Gap?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Birling Gap, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Birling Gap, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
