Toilet chip repair at your home in Ermington

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Ermington

Do you cover Ermington?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ermington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Ermington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ermington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
