About our toilet chip repair in Mousehole

A crack that leaks can’t 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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mousehole as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Mousehole

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mousehole use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
