About our toilet chip repair in Gaer
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Gaer, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What else we do in Gaer
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.

What affects the price in Gaer
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, 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 photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Gaer
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Gaer?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gaer. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
