How we handle toilet chip repair in Pencaerau
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK

Common questions in Pencaerau
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
