About our toilet chip repair in Turnchapel
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Turnchapel and across Plymouth. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Turnchapel
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Turnchapel is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Repairing versus replacing in Turnchapel

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Turnchapel. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
