When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Fort Matilda

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Fort Matilda
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole toilet
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
