About our toilet chip repair in Heolgerrig

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Heolgerrig

  • Pedestals

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Heolgerrig

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Heolgerrig

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
