About our toilet chip repair in Port Isaac

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Port Isaac as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Port Isaac. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Port Isaac

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Port Isaac questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Port Isaac included. Travel is included in the price.
