Toilet chip repair in Filham

Landlord and trade work in Filham

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Filham

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Filham

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Filham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Filham

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
