Toilet chip repair near Llanrhidian Higher

Toilet chip repair in Llanrhidian Higher, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llanrhidian Higher and across Swansea. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
