Our hiring checklist

How we handle toilet chip repair in West Runton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’s what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

West Runton questions

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in West Runton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to West Runton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are there extra charges for West Runton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in West Runton

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Runton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
