Toilet chip repair in Lenton

About our toilet chip repair in Lenton

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Lenton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in Lenton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

If you’re in Lenton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
