Toilet chip repair at your home in Peverell
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Peverell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Peverell
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Peverell
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Peverell: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Peverell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Peverell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Plymouth.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
