How we handle toilet chip repair in North Molton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Molton and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in North Molton
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover North Molton?
We do. We send a technician to North Molton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairing versus replacing in North Molton
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Molton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
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’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
