Landlord and trade work in Tuxford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Toilet chip repair in Tuxford, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Questions from Tuxford

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Tuxford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tuxford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NG22 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Most customers in Tuxford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tuxford

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Tuxford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
