Quintrell Downs questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Quintrell Downs
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Quintrell Downs. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
