Common questions in Upper Shelton
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Upper Shelton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you cover Upper Shelton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Shelton and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Toilet chip repair in Upper Shelton, done in place
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’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Shelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upper Shelton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
