About toilet chip repair in Cornwall

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
We sand the repair level.
We match the colour to the glaze.
The repair is polished so it blends in.

What it costs in Cornwall

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

A crack that leaks water
A crack through the bowl or trap
A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 usually cheaper.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornwall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

The colour and finish to match
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Doing more than one item at once
What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A wider photo showing the entire toilet
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Details of any past repairs

For a price in Cornwall, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Cornwall: your questions answered

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
