Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Drift, Cornwall
We travel to Drift for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in Drift without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Drift

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Drift. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Drift questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We cover the entire UK, including Drift and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
