Common questions in New Ellerby
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Toilet chip repair in New Ellerby, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Ellerby and across East Riding of Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Cisterns & lids

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Ellerby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Ellerby. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in New Ellerby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in New Ellerby
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
