About our toilet chip repair in Modbury

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Modbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Modbury

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Modbury?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Modbury

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Look out for these signs:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
