Toilet chip repair in Graig

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Graig

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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Graig, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Graig: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Newport. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Graig, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
