About our toilet chip repair in Calenick
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Calenick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Calenick
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Calenick and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Calenick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
