We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

Appledore: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you work in Appledore?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Appledore and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Appledore

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas

  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Appledore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
