When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Toilet chip repair in Michaelston-y-Fedw without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Michaelston-y-Fedw and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Michaelston-y-Fedw questions

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
