Toilet chip repair at your home in Sidford
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 the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sidford
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
