Toilet chip repair for Trelights homes

Toilet chip repair in Trelights 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 the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Trelights 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.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Trelights

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
