Toilet chip repair near Skewen

Toilet chip repair in Skewen without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Skewen questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Skewen?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Skewen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Skewen is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Skewen?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
