Trusted toilet chip repair in Llanidloes

Toilet chip repair in Llanidloes without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Llanidloes

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

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
