Toilet & ceramic chip repair in St Stephens, Plymouth
Our repair technicians come to St Stephens for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
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.
About our toilet chip repair in St Stephens
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in St Stephens
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
