Toilet chip repair for Lavington Sands homes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Toilet chip repair in Lavington Sands, done in place

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

You’re 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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Lavington Sands questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lavington Sands.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Lavington Sands and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

How to compare quotes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
