Donnington: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Donnington and the rest of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Donnington
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Donnington
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Donnington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
