Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Downderry
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Downderry as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Downderry
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover Downderry?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Downderry. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Landlord and trade work in Downderry
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
