Toilet chip repair at your home in Lower Sketty
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
