About our toilet chip repair in Carbis Bay
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carbis Bay and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Carbis Bay
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carbis Bay
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water

Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
