Toilet chip repair in Mawnan, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mawnan. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mawnan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Mawnan

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What we are called out for in Mawnan

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
