Toilet chip repair for St Levan homes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in St Levan, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Levan. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for St Levan

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

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 I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including St Levan and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
