How we handle toilet chip repair in Ferndale

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ferndale: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ferndale. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ferndale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF43 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace in Ferndale?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
