Toilet chip repair at your home in Penylan

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
