Toilet chip repair at your home in Cockington
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torbay and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
