Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Box's Shop, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Box's Shop for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Toilet chip repair in Box's Shop, done in place
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. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
