Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Polyphant, Cornwall
Local toilet chip repair for Polyphant: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Polyphant
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 cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Polyphant: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL15 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair 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 will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
