Trusted toilet chip repair in Ropsley

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

About our toilet chip repair in Ropsley

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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Ropsley: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Ropsley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What affects the price in Ropsley

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ropsley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
