About our toilet chip repair in Rhiw
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rhiw as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhiw
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Rhiw
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Rhiw?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What else we do in Rhiw
Repair or replace in Rhiw?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Rhiw
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
