Toilet chip repair at your home in Combeinteignhead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We do not 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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
