FAQs for Lower Porthpean
Are there extra charges for Lower Porthpean?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Toilet chip repair in Lower Porthpean, done in place
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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
