Shirkoak: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shirkoak.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Shirkoak, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
