Landlord and trade work in Tockington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Toilet chip repair in Tockington, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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 chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tockington
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Tockington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tockington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.

What affects the price in Tockington
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
