Questions from Kedleston

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Kedleston

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Kedleston?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Most customers in Kedleston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Kedleston

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kedleston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kedleston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kedleston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
