About our toilet chip repair in Cardiff
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Common problems we fix in Cardiff
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Cardiff: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
