Toilet Chip Repair for Old St Mellons homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Old St Mellons
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Old St Mellons
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old St Mellons. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Old St Mellons get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Old St Mellons
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Old St Mellons.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
