Advice
Toilet chip repair in Pen-y-garn, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Pen-y-garn. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What affects the price in Pen-y-garn
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pen-y-garn. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
