Toilet chip repair in Cove, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cove
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Cove?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
