About our toilet chip repair in Hodthorpe

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Common questions in Hodthorpe

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hodthorpe. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Hodthorpe

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Hodthorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Hodthorpe

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
