Toilet chip repair in Cwmbychan, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Neath Port Talbot. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Cwmbychan: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Cwmbychan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cwmbychan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

For landlords and businesses

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Cwmbychan

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

For a price in Cwmbychan, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
