Toilet chip repair for Hollingworth homes

Landlord and trade work in Hollingworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollingworth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

About our toilet chip repair in Hollingworth

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, 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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

When to call us in Hollingworth

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Hollingworth

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
