Trusted toilet chip repair in Pontymister

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Pontymister, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Toilet chip repair in Pontymister, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
