When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Toilet chip repair in Stainsby, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Stainsby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Stainsby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Stainsby
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Stainsby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
