About our toilet chip repair in Efail Fach

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. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Efail Fach

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Efail Fach: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
