Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Pennard, Swansea
We travel to Pennard for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Pennard
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 will say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Pennard
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pennard. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Pennard get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Pennard?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Pennard questions
Is my repair covered?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
