- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Port Navas
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. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Port Navas. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Navas use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Port Navas
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Port Navas?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Port Navas from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Port Navas and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Port Navas
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
