Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Buckfast without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Buckfast

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckfast

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckfast

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Buckfast

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
