How we handle toilet chip repair in Tal-y-bont
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Tal-y-bont: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
