Repairing versus replacing in Burrington
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Burrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Burrington
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burrington and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Burrington
Common questions in Burrington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burrington
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
In fairness, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
