Portesham questions

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Everywhere in the UK, Portesham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Toilet chip repair in Portesham without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Portesham
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Portesham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
