How we handle toilet chip repair in St Merryn
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Merryn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in St Merryn
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to St Merryn?
We do. Technicians travel to St Merryn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
