Toilet chip repair in St Loye's without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in St Loye's

A new 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When to call us in St Loye's

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

St Loye's: your questions answered

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in St Loye's?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX2 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
