Toilet chip repair in Bowd, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bowd questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Bowd?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Bowd, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
