Great Brington questions

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Great Brington

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common problems we fix in Great Brington

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Great Brington

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

Repair or replace in Great Brington?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Brington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
