Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Cwm Talwg, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common questions in Cwm Talwg
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?
We cover the entire UK, including Cwm Talwg and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
