Trusted toilet chip repair in Bedwas

Toilet chip repair in Bedwas without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bedwas and across Caerphilly. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF83 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What we’re called out for in Bedwas

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Bedwas and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Bedwas

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 photos.
