DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Toilet chip repair in Tan-y-maes, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
