What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Hook, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hook. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Hook

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Hook

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hook included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Repairing versus replacing in Hook

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
