Toilet chip repair in Bugle without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bugle
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Bugle?

- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- A crack through the bowl or trap

Common questions in Bugle
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bugle. Prices don’t change with location.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
