Toilet chip repair in Fochriw without replacing anything
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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fochriw as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
FAQs for Fochriw
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
