Toilet chip repair near New Basford

Toilet chip repair in New Basford, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from New Basford

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you cover New Basford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to New Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Basford. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Basford

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
