The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Sowhill
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans

- Vitreous china
Landlord and trade work in Sowhill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sowhill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Sowhill
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for these signs:

Questions from Sowhill
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Sowhill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sowhill and the rest of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
