Landlords, agents and businesses in Ditton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Ditton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Ditton
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Ditton
A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
If you are in Ditton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
