Toilet chip repair at your home in Hengoed
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hengoed
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Hengoed?
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. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
