FAQs for Doonfoot
Do you work in Doonfoot?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Doonfoot and the rest of South Ayrshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
About our toilet chip repair in Doonfoot
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Doonfoot get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Doonfoot
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
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 DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Doonfoot

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
If you are in Doonfoot and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
