How we handle toilet chip repair in Sandy

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Sandy

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
