Toilet chip repair near Lambourne

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Lambourne

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Lambourne questions

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Lambourne?

What affects the price in Lambourne

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lambourne. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
