The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Cross Inn, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Toilet chip repair in Cross Inn, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Cross Inn questions

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Cross Inn?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cross Inn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Inn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
