Toilet chip repair at your home in Looe
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Looe. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Looe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Looe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looe: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
