How we handle toilet chip repair in Pen-dre

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-dre

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-dre use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Pen-dre: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you work in Pen-dre?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pen-dre. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Pen-dre

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pen-dre, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pen-dre

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

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-dre

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pen-dre. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
