About our toilet chip repair in Castle

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 say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice

Questions from Castle

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?

Across the UK, so Castle is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Castle

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Castle. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Castle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
