Toilet chip repair near Gelli-groes

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gelli-groes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Gelli-groes, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gelli-groes

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
