What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
How we handle toilet chip repair in Edgehead
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Edgehead
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Edgehead. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
