Toilet chip repair in Bigbury-on-Sea without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bigbury-on-Sea and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Bigbury-on-Sea

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
