Higher End: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Higher End?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Toilet chip repair in Higher End, done in place
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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Higher End
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Higher End?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
