Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Wymeswold
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Wymeswold: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wymeswold.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Wymeswold

The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
