Toilet chip repair at your home in Gwyddgrug
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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 leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Gwyddgrug
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Gwyddgrug?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gwyddgrug and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What affects the price in Gwyddgrug
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
