Toilet chip repair near Letham

Toilet chip repair at your home in Letham

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can landlords book you?

What we are called out for in Letham

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
