Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Toilet chip repair in Plympton, done in place
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Plympton
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Plympton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Plympton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Plympton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Plympton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
