How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Tunstall

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tunstall as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Tunstall questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Tunstall?

We do. We send a technician to Tunstall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Tunstall

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
