Toilet chip repair at your home in Highertown
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Highertown and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What affects the price in Highertown
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Highertown

Common reasons people in Highertown contact us include:
- Chips on the pan or rim

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- How to look after the finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Highertown: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
