Toilet chip repair in Carn Towan without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
