How we handle toilet chip repair in Lackenby
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 the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Lackenby
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
