About our toilet chip repair in Kingskerswell

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kingskerswell and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingskerswell

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Kingskerswell

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you come to Kingskerswell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kingskerswell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
