Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunness
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
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.
Toilet chip repair in Gunness, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gunness. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
