What affects the price in Borwick
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Borwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Toilet chip repair in Borwick without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from Borwick
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
