Toilet chip repair at your home in Cotleigh
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Chips on the cistern lid

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked 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 the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Cotleigh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
