How we handle toilet chip repair in Porthloo
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Porthloo and across the Isles of Scilly. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Porthloo
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Porthloo
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

We do. We send a technician to Porthloo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What else we do in Porthloo
What we are called out for in Porthloo
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
