Toilet chip repair in Treboeth

Toilet chip repair in Treboeth, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Treboeth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

When a repair is not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Treboeth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Treboeth

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
