Toilet chip repair in Downgate, done in place
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Downgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Downgate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Downgate: your questions answered
Do you work in Downgate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Downgate and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
