Toilet chip repair in Pontycymer without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Pontycymer
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
