About our toilet chip repair in St Ann's Chapel

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

FAQs for St Ann's Chapel

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

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

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in St Ann's Chapel

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Ann's Chapel. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in St Ann's Chapel get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
