How we handle toilet chip repair in Veryan Green

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Before and after: a damaged toilet pan restored by Surface Doctor

Should you replace it?

A new 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Veryan Green

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
