About our toilet chip repair in Rushmere
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Rushmere
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Rushmere
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover Rushmere?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rushmere from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
