Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Gwespyr
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gwespyr. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Gwespyr
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
