About our toilet chip repair in Port Talbot

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Port Talbot

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means 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. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
