When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Pedestals

About our toilet chip repair in Tregurnow

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tregurnow

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tregurnow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
