Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Font-y-gary
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Font-y-gary and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Font-y-gary
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Font-y-gary
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Font-y-gary. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
