How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

About our toilet chip repair in Pen-sarn

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Pen-sarn: your questions answered

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Pen-sarn, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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