Toilet chip repair near St Mawgan

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in St Mawgan

A crack that leaks can’t 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 regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in St Mawgan

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

When to call us in St Mawgan

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around St Mawgan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in St Mawgan

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Mawgan, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
