Trusted toilet chip repair in Cwmcarnhywel

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Cwmcarnhywel

A crack that leaks cannot 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 the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Cwmcarnhywel

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
