Need toilet chip repair in Yealmbridge?

Toilet chip repair at your home in Yealmbridge

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yealmbridge and across Devon. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Yealmbridge

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
