FAQs for Brompton-by-Sawdon

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brompton-by-Sawdon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
