Toilet chip repair at your home in Osgathorpe

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Osgathorpe: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Osgathorpe and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Osgathorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Osgathorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Osgathorpe

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Osgathorpe?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Osgathorpe. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Osgathorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
