Trusted toilet chip repair in Polgigga

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Polgigga

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Polgigga, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Polgigga

Do you work in Polgigga?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Polgigga. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR19 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Polgigga

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
