How we handle toilet chip repair in Colyford

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colyford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Colyford customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Colyford

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Colyford

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
