We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you have marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help.

Rural addresses like Oldcotes just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oldcotes and across Nottinghamshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Facilities teams at buildings such as Langold Dyscarr Community School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. For a rural address like Oldcotes, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the toilet chip repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Oldcotes

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Older homes around Oldcotes may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
