- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim

Toilet chip repair at your home in Croeserw
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Croeserw
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Neath Port Talbot.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Croeserw
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Croeserw?
Replacing a 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
