Toilet chip repair in Gunwalloe without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gunwalloe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Gunwalloe clients choose us
