Wolborough questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Wolborough?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Wolborough

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wolborough and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Wolborough

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wolborough. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

Repairing versus replacing in Wolborough

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wolborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
