Repairing versus replacing in Trewen

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair in Trewen, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Questions from Trewen

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Trewen

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trewen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
