Toilet chip repair in Pinhoe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Pinhoe

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Pinhoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

Pinhoe: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
