Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Garras, Cornwall
Toilet chip repair in and around Garras: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Toilet chip repair in Garras, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Garras
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Garras and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
