What affects the price in Tresamble

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Tresamble

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tresamble. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
