Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Praa Sands without replacing anything

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 will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Praa Sands: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Praa Sands and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Praa Sands?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Praa Sands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Praa Sands

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Praa Sands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Praa Sands and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Praa Sands?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
