Repairing versus replacing in Dailly
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Dailly, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Toilet chip repair in Dailly without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
Somewhere like Dailly, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dailly and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Dailly
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Common questions in Dailly
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Dailly?
Typically, yes. Older toilets are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
Do you come out to small places like Dailly?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Dailly?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dailly use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Dailly, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Dailly, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
