Toilet chip repair near Tollesby

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Toilet chip repair in Tollesby without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Tollesby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Tollesby

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Tollesby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Tollesby?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
