Toilet chip repair for Eggbuckland homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair in Eggbuckland without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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 are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Eggbuckland?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Eggbuckland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

When a repair is not the answer

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)

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

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Landlord and trade work in Eggbuckland

For anyone letting property in or around Eggbuckland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eggbuckland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is it messy?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
