FAQs for Dadford

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Dadford?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Toilet chip repair in Dadford, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we are called out for in Dadford

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Dadford?

A new toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dadford. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
