Common questions in Mendlesham

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mendlesham.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mendlesham

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole toilet

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Mendlesham clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Mendlesham

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
