Toilet chip repair in Uffculme without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Uffculme

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

  • Cisterns & lids

What affects the price in Uffculme

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Uffculme and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Uffculme

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Uffculme questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
