Toilet chip repair in Frithelstock Stone without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Frithelstock Stone

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Frithelstock Stone

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frithelstock Stone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

For a price in Frithelstock Stone, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
