Toilet chip repair in Shelf without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot 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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shelf. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Advice
Shelf: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Bridgend?
We work UK-wide, so Shelf is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you work in Shelf?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shelf and the rest of Bridgend. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bridgend.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shelf. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Usually one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelf use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bridgend and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
