Toilet chip repair in Cefncaeau

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we handle toilet chip repair in Cefncaeau

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cefncaeau. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cefncaeau. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cefncaeau, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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