Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Studdal
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Studdal
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
What affects the price in Studdal
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
