FAQs for Russland

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Russland?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Russland and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair in Russland without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Russland

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Russland?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Russland

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get 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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
