About our toilet chip repair in Westleigh
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Westleigh
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Westleigh?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Westleigh and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Westleigh and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
