Landlord and trade work in Starcross

For anyone letting property in or around Starcross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Starcross

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is 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.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Starcross

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Starcross. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Starcross

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Starcross customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
