For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
About our toilet chip repair in Trevenson
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water

What we are called out for in Trevenson
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trevenson, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Trevenson: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Trevenson?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Trevenson. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
