Toilet chip repair in Talaton

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Talaton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Talaton and across Devon. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Talaton?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Talaton questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Talaton

If you manage property in Talaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
