About our toilet chip repair in Quarr-Clydach

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Quarr-Clydach. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

Quarr-Clydach: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Quarr-Clydach.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
