Landlords, agents and businesses in Budleigh Salterton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often 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.

Toilet chip repair in Budleigh Salterton, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Budleigh Salterton

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Budleigh Salterton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Budleigh Salterton

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
