Toilet chip repair near Llansantffraid

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

About our toilet chip repair in Llansantffraid

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Llansantffraid. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Llansantffraid. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Llansantffraid

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
