Toilet chip repair in Yelland without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Yelland
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Yelland?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yelland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Yelland
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Yelland

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
