When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain

Toilet chip repair in Penmaen, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Penmaen questions

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you work in Penmaen?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Penmaen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Penmaen

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Penmaen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
