Landlord and trade work in Kenwyn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Kenwyn
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Kenwyn
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Kenwyn
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What else we do in Kenwyn
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
