About our toilet chip repair in Penzance

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes 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 the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Penzance. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Penzance: your questions answered

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Penzance?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Penzance from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
