Toilet chip repair in Crockernwell

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

About our toilet chip repair in Crockernwell

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crockernwell and across Devon. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Crockernwell: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Crockernwell.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What about a leaking crack?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Crockernwell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
