Trusted toilet chip repair in East Aberthaw

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in East Aberthaw

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Aberthaw. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

What a repair can’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
