How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Toilet chip repair in Abertridwr, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Abertridwr
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
