Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Meadows. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle toilet chip repair in The Meadows
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When to call us in The Meadows
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The Meadows questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in The Meadows?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Meadows and the rest of Nottingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in The Meadows?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
