Trusted toilet chip repair in Perranuthnoe

Toilet chip repair in Perranuthnoe without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Perranuthnoe and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Perranuthnoe

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Perranuthnoe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Perranuthnoe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Perranuthnoe

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
