Toilet chip repair at your home in Trewint
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Trewint
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Trewint and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
