Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our toilet chip repair in Bickington
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Bickington
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means 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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bickington questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
