Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Shefford: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shefford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Advice
Places near Shefford
Also in Shefford
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Shefford
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
