Toilet chip repair in Monkton, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

What we’re called out for in Monkton

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common questions in Monkton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you come to Monkton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Monkton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Monkton. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Monkton

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
