Questions from Bourton-on-the-Water
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Other services in Bourton-on-the-Water
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Bourton-on-the-Water
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
