Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Toilet chip repair in Bontnewydd, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bontnewydd. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Bontnewydd
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bontnewydd use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Bontnewydd
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
