About our toilet chip repair in Pentyrch

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Pentyrch questions

Do you cover Pentyrch?

We do. We send a technician to Pentyrch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pentyrch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repair or replace in Pentyrch?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
