How we handle toilet chip repair in Bradiford
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Bradiford?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
