How we handle toilet chip repair in Housel Bay
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Housel Bay
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we are called out for in Housel Bay
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairing versus replacing in Housel Bay
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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Housel Bay
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Housel Bay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
