Toilet chip repair for Blakestones homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair in Blakestones without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Blakestones?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blakestones. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blakestones

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Blakestones questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Blakestones?

We do. Technicians travel to Blakestones from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
