About our toilet chip repair in Falmouth
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Falmouth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Falmouth
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Falmouth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Falmouth and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Do you need toilet chip repair in Falmouth?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
