Toilet chip repair at your home in Christow
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Christow and across Devon. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Should you replace it?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
