How we handle toilet chip repair in St Erme
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 will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for St Erme
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are there extra charges for St Erme?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What we’re called out for in St Erme

Repair or replace in St Erme?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
