Toilet chip repair in Tredavoe, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Tredavoe
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tredavoe. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tredavoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Tredavoe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Tredavoe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tredavoe and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tredavoe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Tredavoe
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us

- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
