Landlords, agents and businesses in Helford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Helford
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Helford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Helford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Helford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Common problems we fix in Helford
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Should you replace it?
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 leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
