Toilet chip repair at your home in Achddu
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Achddu
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does toilet chip repair cost?

Are you accredited?

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Achddu?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Achddu
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Achddu, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Achddu
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Achddu. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
