Toilet chip repair in Solva without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Pembrokeshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Solva
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Solva
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Solva?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
