Toilet chip repair at your home in Church Town

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Church Town: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Church Town.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, so Church Town is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Church Town

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Church Town

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
