Common questions in Mile Oak

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Mile Oak?

We do. Technicians travel to Mile Oak from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mile Oak

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mile Oak. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mile Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Mile Oak

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
