Questions from Burntheath

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover Burntheath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burntheath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Burntheath and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Toilet chip repair in Burntheath without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Burntheath

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet

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.

Landlord and trade work in Burntheath

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
