Common questions in Gurney Slade
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Gurney Slade?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Toilet chip repair in Gurney Slade, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Gurney Slade
Common problems we fix in Gurney Slade
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gurney Slade
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, 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 make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
