Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Pendeen

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Damage from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Pendeen

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pendeen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Pendeen

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Pendeen is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Pendeen?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Pendeen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Pendeen and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Pendeen customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
