About our toilet chip repair in Denby Bottles

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Denby Bottles questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Denby Bottles?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Denby Bottles. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
