Book toilet chip repair in Lackham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Lackham

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lackham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Lackham

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

How to get a fixed quote

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lackham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
