How we handle toilet chip repair in Mawgan

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mawgan as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Mawgan, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Mawgan

What happens next?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Mawgan?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Mawgan?

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mawgan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
