Cilgerran questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Cilgerran?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Cilgerran

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Cilgerran

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
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 before booking.

  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
