Toilet chip repair at your home in Garn-yr-erw

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Repairing versus replacing in Garn-yr-erw

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

Garn-yr-erw: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Torfaen?

Everywhere in the UK, Garn-yr-erw included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you come to Garn-yr-erw?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Garn-yr-erw and the rest of Torfaen. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
