Toilet chip repair in Maen-y-groes

Toilet chip repair in Maen-y-groes without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Maen-y-groes: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Maen-y-groes?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Maen-y-groes

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Maen-y-groes

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
