Toilet chip repair in Cottingham, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Cottingham
For anyone letting property in or around Cottingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Cottingham
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Cottingham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cottingham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
