How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Dowsby

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. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Dowsby questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Dowsby included. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Dowsby?

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

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
