East-the-Water questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to East-the-Water?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East-the-Water and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Toilet chip repair at your home in East-the-Water

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in East-the-Water and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
