The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Low Tharston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair in Low Tharston, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Low Tharston
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Low Tharston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Low Tharston
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Low Tharston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Low Tharston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Repair or replace in Low Tharston?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
