Landlords, agents and businesses in Sydenham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Sydenham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sydenham and across Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Sydenham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Sydenham

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you come to Sydenham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sydenham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.

When to call us in Sydenham

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
