Toilet chip repair in Nant-y-cafn, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Nant-y-cafn: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Nant-y-cafn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Nant-y-cafn

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
