Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Ansty
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our toilet chip repair in Lower Ansty
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What we work on
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Lower Ansty questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
