Toilet chip repair in Lanivet, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Lanivet
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Lanivet?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lanivet and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Lanivet
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Lanivet
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Lanivet
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
