Toilet chip repair at your home in Pen-yr-heol
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Pen-yr-heol questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Bridgend, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you cover Pen-yr-heol?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pen-yr-heol. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-yr-heol
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
