Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Farthing Green without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice

Common questions in Farthing Green

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Farthing Green?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Farthing Green is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Repair or replace in Farthing Green?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farthing Green. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Farthing Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
