How to compare quotes

About our toilet chip repair in Holywell

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

Landlord and trade work in Holywell

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire toilet

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

FAQs for Holywell

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Holywell?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Holywell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
