Toilet chip repair in Wanlip without replacing anything

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. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wanlip

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Wanlip

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Wanlip

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Wanlip?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wanlip. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wanlip.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
