Common questions in Bubwith
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair in Bubwith without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Bubwith?
A new toilet needs 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. We do not 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bubwith. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bubwith, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
