Landlord and trade work in Mattersey
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our toilet chip repair in Mattersey
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Mattersey
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace in Mattersey?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
