Toilet chip repair in Cross Hands without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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 pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cross Hands and across Carmarthenshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Cross Hands questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
