How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Cae'r-gwerlas

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cae'r-gwerlas use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Cae'r-gwerlas

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Cae'r-gwerlas clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

Cae'r-gwerlas: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
