Landlords, agents and businesses in Bitteswell

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bitteswell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Toilet chip repair in Bitteswell without replacing anything

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 say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bitteswell: your questions answered

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE17 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bitteswell. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
