Toilet chip repair for Ivybridge homes

Toilet chip repair in Ivybridge, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Ivybridge: your questions answered

Do you work in Ivybridge?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ivybridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through 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 it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Ivybridge?

A new toilet means 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. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Ivybridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
