Toilet chip repair at your home in Caehopkin

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Caehopkin

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caehopkin as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
