How we handle toilet chip repair in Flexbury
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Flexbury. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Flexbury

Repairing versus replacing in Flexbury
Replacing a toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Flexbury
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Flexbury
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we are called out for in Flexbury
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

What we do, step by step

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
