Questions from South Tehidy
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in South Tehidy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so South Tehidy is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Toilet chip repair at your home in South Tehidy
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Tehidy use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Tehidy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Repairing versus replacing in South Tehidy
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why South Tehidy customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
