Toilet chip repair in Pontcynon without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Pontcynon

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF45 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Pontcynon?

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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