Questions from Farewell

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Farewell.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Farewell

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Farewell

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farewell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Farewell

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
