Toilet chip repair near Tre-Forgan

What affects the price in Tre-Forgan

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Toilet chip repair in Tre-Forgan without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
