About our toilet chip repair in Bishop's Nympton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Bishop's Nympton
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Bishop's Nympton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace in Bishop's Nympton?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
