Ravenglass questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ravenglass.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you cover Ravenglass?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ravenglass and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Ravenglass

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Ravenglass

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Ravenglass?

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Ravenglass

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ravenglass. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Ravenglass get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
