Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our toilet chip repair in Capel Seion
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel Seion as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
