About our toilet chip repair in Illogan

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Illogan clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Illogan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
