Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Oakford, Devon

- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Toilet chip repair in Oakford, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

Repair or replace in Oakford?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Oakford
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
