Toilet chip repair at your home in Tavistock
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is 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. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
