Toilet chip repair in Romilly, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Romilly questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you work in Romilly?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Romilly for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Romilly
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Romilly as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
