How we handle toilet chip repair in Plympton St Maurice

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Plympton St Maurice

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

We cover the whole UK, including Plympton St Maurice and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Plympton St Maurice. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Plympton St Maurice. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
