Toilet Chip Repair for Dury homes
Problem with your toilet in Dury? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
How we handle toilet chip repair in Dury
A crack that leaks can’t 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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dury
For anyone letting property in or around Dury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dury use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Dury
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Dury questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Dury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
