Maidenhayne questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Maidenhayne?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Maidenhayne and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Toilet chip repair in Maidenhayne without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Maidenhayne. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
