Common questions in Wainhouse Corner
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
