Local toilet chip repair for Pentewan: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair in Pentewan without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Pentewan
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Pentewan?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pentewan. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
