How we handle toilet chip repair in Tewin Wood
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
