FAQs for Burravoe
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Toilet chip repair in Burravoe without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burravoe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Burravoe
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
