Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bremirehoull

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 the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
