Toilet chip repair in St Ive Cross, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Ive Cross and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in St Ive Cross

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, St Ive Cross included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in St Ive Cross

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Ive Cross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in St Ive Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos 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 it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
