Toilet Chip Repair in Plymouth
Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics at your home in Plymouth, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we handle toilet chip repair in Plymouth
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Plymouth?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Plymouth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
FAQs for Plymouth
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Plymouth?
We do. We send a technician to Plymouth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
