About our toilet chip repair in Gwaun Treoda

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Gwaun Treoda

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gwaun Treoda. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Gwaun Treoda

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are there extra charges for Gwaun Treoda?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
