How we handle toilet chip repair in Bodmin
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bodmin and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Bodmin
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Landlord and trade work in Bodmin
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
What affects the price in Bodmin
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
