How we handle toilet chip repair in Portmellon
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Portmellon
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Portmellon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Portmellon and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Portmellon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Portmellon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
