- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Devonburn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
About our toilet chip repair in Devonburn
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Devonburn questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Devonburn?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
