For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Gilberries
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Gilberries
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Gilberries and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Common problems we fix in Gilberries
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
