Toilet chip repair in St Columb Road without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Columb Road and across Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Columb Road. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in St Columb Road

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in St Columb Road

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

St Columb Road questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
