Toilet chip repair for Maker homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Maker

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Most clients in Maker get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Maker

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work in Maker?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Maker and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Maker

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maker

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
