- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in East Stourmouth
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
