Trusted toilet chip repair in Stithians

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Stithians

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Stithians

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairing versus replacing in Stithians

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

If you’re in Stithians and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What affects the price in Stithians

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stithians. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stithians

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

When to call us in Stithians

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
