About our toilet chip repair in Olchard

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Olchard questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Olchard included. Travel is included in the price.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Olchard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
