DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically the cheaper route.
About our toilet chip repair in Scremby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Scremby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Scremby
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Scremby
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often 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.
