Toilet chip repair in Porthtowan without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. 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 pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Porthtowan and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Porthtowan
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Porthtowan

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
