Toilet chip repair near Perranwell

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Perranwell. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Perranwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Perranwell

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Perranwell

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
