About our toilet chip repair in Cowbridge with Llanblethian
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
In a smaller place like Cowbridge with Llanblethian, most homes are houses and bungalows, many with suites that have been in for years. If a piece is chipped, repairing it keeps the suite together.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
