FAQs for Ashwell
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Ashwell?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
About our toilet chip repair in Ashwell
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ashwell as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
