Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Cottesmore

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cottesmore. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Cottesmore

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rutland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
