Toilet chip repair in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen without replacing anything
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
