Toilet Chip Repair in Patchole
Damaged toilet in Patchole? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Toilet chip repair in Patchole, 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 tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Patchole
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Patchole?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Patchole and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Patchole
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
