Trusted toilet chip repair in New Mill

Toilet chip repair at your home in New Mill

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

New Mill: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in New Mill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
