Toilet chip repair at your home in Kentisbeare
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Every repair 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.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Kentisbeare
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
