Toilet chip repair near Graigwen

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF37 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair in Graigwen without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day

Questions from Graigwen

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Graigwen?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
