How we handle toilet chip repair in Gunnista
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?

Do you work in Gunnista?
We do. We send a technician to Gunnista for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Gunnista
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
