Toilet chip repair at your home in Rock
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Rock
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rock and the surrounding area
Rock is about 10 miles north-west of Bodmin, in Cornwall. Wherever you are in the PL27 postcode area, we carry out the work at your property. Rock is one of 644 places in Cornwall we cover.
Jobs in PL27 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on Shores Lane, Greenbanks Road and Trelyn or a nearby road, we can come to you. Close by, we cover Splatt (1 mile north-east), Porthilly (1 mile south-west), Trebetherick (2 miles north-west), Padstow (2 miles west) and Polzeath (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newquay (12 miles south-west), St Austell (15 miles south), Bodmin (10 miles south-east), Sandy Bottom (15 miles south-east), Bethel (15 miles south-east) and Wadebridge (4 miles south-east).

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
