Trusted toilet chip repair in Mount Pleasant

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Mount Pleasant without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Mount Pleasant

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Mount Pleasant

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently 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.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
