About our toilet chip repair in Shop
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

About Shop
Shop is about 16 miles south-west of Bideford, in Cornwall. Wherever you are in the EX23 postcode area, we come to you. Shop is one of 644 places in Cornwall where we work.
All of EX23 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Morwenna Road, West Beckon Close and Furze Gardens and the roads around them. We also travel to Woodford (1 mile south-west), Kilkhampton (3 miles south-east), Poughill (4 miles south), Maer (5 miles south) and Philham (5 miles north).
Local landmarks in Shop
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mark's CofE Primary School. Further afield, we also cover the area around Penstowe Castle (2.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there is Marsland Valley.
Repairing versus replacing in Shop
Replacing a toilet needs 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. Compared with replacing, 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.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shop as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shop
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

Shop: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shop. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shop. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
