What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Poringland

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Poringland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Do I have to be there?

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Landlord and trade work in Poringland

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Poringland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Poringland

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Poringland get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
