Toilet chip repair in Larkbeare without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Larkbeare
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Larkbeare
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Larkbeare?
We do. We send a technician to Larkbeare for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Larkbeare included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
