How we handle toilet chip repair in Laneham

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 cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laneham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Laneham: your questions answered

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Laneham?

We do. We send a technician to Laneham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Laneham and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Laneham. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
