FAQs for Wath
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What else we do in Wath
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
