About our toilet chip repair in Cwmdu
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cwmdu as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Cwmdu: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you cover the entire of Powys?
We cover the entire UK, including Cwmdu and the rest of Powys. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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 will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Cwmdu
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
