How we handle toilet chip repair in Dufton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Dufton
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dufton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
