How we handle toilet chip repair in Downton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Downton and across Wiltshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Downton

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Downton

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Downton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Downton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
