Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Perranporth
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Perranporth
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole toilet
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Perranporth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
