Toilet chip repair near Treknow

Repair or replace in Treknow?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Toilet chip repair in Treknow without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Treknow

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK, so Treknow is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Treknow?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Treknow. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Treknow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
