Toilet chip repair for Tytherleigh homes

Toilet chip repair in Tytherleigh, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s 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. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Tytherleigh

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Tytherleigh.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, Tytherleigh included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Tytherleigh?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
