Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair in Chivenor without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Chivenor questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Chivenor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chivenor and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in Chivenor

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Chivenor

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
