Book toilet chip repair in Teignmouth

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our toilet chip repair in Teignmouth

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire toilet

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Teignmouth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Teignmouth: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Teignmouth?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
