How we handle toilet chip repair in Downiehills
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. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Landlord and trade work in Downiehills
For anyone letting property in or around Downiehills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
