Repairing versus replacing in Micklethwaite

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Toilet chip repair in Micklethwaite, done in place

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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Micklethwaite

Do you cover Micklethwaite?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Micklethwaite from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Micklethwaite use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Micklethwaite. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
