If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandfields West
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Sandfields West
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sandfields West. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- A picture taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sandfields West, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
