Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Toilet chip repair in Lemsford, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Lemsford

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Lemsford?

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

Do you cover Lemsford?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lemsford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
