Toilet chip repair in Washfield without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Washfield and across Devon. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Washfield
Are there extra charges for Washfield?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Washfield?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Washfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Washfield
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
