How we handle toilet chip repair in Axminster

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Axminster

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, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work in Axminster?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Axminster and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Axminster

  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain

Repairing versus replacing in Axminster

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Axminster

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Axminster and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
