FAQs for Bradfield

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Bradfield and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bradfield

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
