Toilet chip repair in Tresillian without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Tresillian: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tresillian. Prices do not change with location.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tresillian as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
