About our toilet chip repair in Down End
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 is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Down End questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Are there extra charges for Down End?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Down End?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Down End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repair or replace in Down End?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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: 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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
