Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Fron
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fron as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace in Fron?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
