Toilet chip repair in Eglwysilan, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Eglwysilan
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eglwysilan as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Eglwysilan: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
