How we handle toilet chip repair in Littleton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Littleton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Littleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Littleton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bath and North East Somerset.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you cover the entire of Bath and North East Somerset?

The whole UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Most customers in Littleton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
