DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Toilet chip repair in Aberriw, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Aberriw
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. 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. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Aberriw. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
