Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Driby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Toilet chip repair in Driby, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Driby?
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Driby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
