No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Sandholme
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
