Damaged toilet in Teston? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our toilet chip repair in Teston
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
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 hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
