Why repair rather than replace?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Toilet chip repair in Upper Sanday without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Upper Sanday
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Sanday
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Upper Sanday questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
