Toilet chip repair in Littlehempston, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What a repair can’t fix

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 will say what we think before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Littlehempston questions

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Littlehempston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are there extra charges for Littlehempston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Littlehempston included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
