Landlords, agents and businesses in Mossend

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Mossend
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
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.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mossend. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Mossend
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
