Toilet chip repair across Torbay: what to expect
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Near you in Paignton
Around Paignton, we work in homes near Sacred Heart Catholic School, Paignton Academy and Parish Church of Christ Church. Paignton has its own railway station: Paignton station. A little further out are The Real Crime Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Berry Pomeroy Castle (3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Occombe Valley Woods.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Torbay. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torbay
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Torbay, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Torbay questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
