Toilet chip repair in Carrington

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our toilet chip repair in Carrington

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Carrington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Carrington

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Carrington questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Carrington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
