Toilet chip repair in Mylor Churchtown

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mylor Churchtown

A crack that leaks cannot 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. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What toilet chip repair costs

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
