How we handle toilet chip repair in Penarth Marina
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Penarth Marina?

Is a repair better than a new one?

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penarth Marina. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Penarth Marina, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
