How we handle toilet chip repair in Daddry Shield
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Daddry Shield and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Daddry Shield questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Daddry Shield?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Daddry Shield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Daddry Shield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
