Toilet chip repair in Clyst Heath without replacing anything
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 say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Clyst Heath
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Clyst Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Clyst Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
