If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Elburton
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Elburton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Elburton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
