About our toilet chip repair in Charlestown
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 will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Charlestown
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Charlestown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
