The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up. In a smaller place like Pencoedtre, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit

About our toilet chip repair in Pencoedtre
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
In and around Pencoedtre, a toilet repair is usually a short visit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Pencoedtre
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Rented homes near Cadoxton station (about 1 mile south-east) change hands often, and repairing toilets between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Pencoedtre?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. In a smaller place like Pencoedtre, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
