Questions from Clifton upon Dunsmore
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?
The entire UK, including all of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clifton upon Dunsmore.
Toilet chip repair in Clifton upon Dunsmore, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Clifton upon Dunsmore
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
