Kings Ripton questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Kings Ripton

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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Most clients in Kings Ripton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kings Ripton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What affects the price in Kings Ripton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
