Landlord and trade work in Cargreen
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Cargreen
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Cargreen
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Cargreen?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cargreen and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Most customers in Cargreen get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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 typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Cargreen
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cargreen, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
