Questions from Repton

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Repton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Repton?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
