Housham Tye questions
Can you fix toilets at a school or business in Housham Tye?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Do you come out to small places like Housham Tye?
Yes, we do: Housham Tye is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Toilet chip repair in Housham Tye, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
In a village like Housham Tye, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Housham Tye
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Older homes around Housham Tye may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
