About our toilet chip repair in North Cotes

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in North Cotes

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in North Cotes

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in North Cotes

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
