Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
About our toilet chip repair in St Mewan
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Mewan and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Mewan, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
