Landlords, agents and businesses in Scarborough

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Scarborough

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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Scarborough: your questions answered

Do you come to Scarborough?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Scarborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
