When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Luxulyan

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 will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Luxulyan

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Luxulyan is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Luxulyan?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Luxulyan and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Luxulyan?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Luxulyan

Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
