Questions from Pig Street
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Pig Street?
We do. We send a technician to Pig Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Pig Street
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Pig Street

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pig Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Advice
What affects the price in Pig Street
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
