How we handle toilet chip repair in Yeolmbridge

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yeolmbridge and across Cornwall. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Yeolmbridge, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Yeolmbridge

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
