For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mill Street
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
For a rural address like Mill Street, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. In an older home in a village like Mill Street, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common problems we fix in Mill Street
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
In the older streets of Mill Street, around landmarks like Church of St Mary, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mill Street. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
