- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Toilet chip repair in Splott, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Splott
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
