Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for East Street. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

About our toilet chip repair in East Street

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

East Street questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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 we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around East Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
