How we handle toilet chip repair in Gittisham
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gittisham and across Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gittisham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Gittisham
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
When to call us in Gittisham
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
