How we handle toilet chip repair in Lyme Regis

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyme Regis as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Lyme Regis

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Lyme Regis

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
