Toilet chip repair for Dyffryn homes

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Dyffryn without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

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. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF34 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dyffryn

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Dyffryn?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dyffryn and the rest of Bridgend. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Dyffryn

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
