FAQs for Horsleygate

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Horsleygate?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Horsleygate

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

When to call us in Horsleygate

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
