FAQs for Fairy Cross
Are there extra charges for Fairy Cross?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Fairy Cross?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX39 postcode.
Toilet chip repair in Fairy Cross, done in place
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 will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Fairy Cross
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairy Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Fairy Cross?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
