How we handle toilet chip repair in Duloe
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Duloe as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Duloe
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Duloe. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Duloe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
