How we handle toilet chip repair in Gunnislake
A crack that leaks can’t 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 the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gunnislake and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Gunnislake
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Gunnislake?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gunnislake and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Gunnislake
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gunnislake. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
