Toilet chip repair in Saunton, done in place
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 tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Saunton
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Saunton

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Landlord and trade work in Saunton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
