About our toilet chip repair in Harcombe
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before you book.

What affects the price in Harcombe
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Harcombe
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Harcombe
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Harcombe questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Harcombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Harcombe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
