When to call us in Llyswen
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Toilet chip repair in Llyswen without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llyswen and across Ceredigion. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Llyswen
A new toilet needs 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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Questions from Llyswen
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Ceredigion. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
