What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Toilet chip repair in North Prospect, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Prospect and across Plymouth. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.

Repairing versus replacing in North Prospect

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

Do you need toilet chip repair in North Prospect?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in North Prospect

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in North Prospect?

We do. Repair technicians travel to North Prospect from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in North Prospect

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
