About our toilet chip repair in Tremorfa
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Tremorfa questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Tremorfa?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF24 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
Across the UK, and that includes Tremorfa. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Tremorfa?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repairing versus replacing in Tremorfa
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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. 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.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Take a look at our pricing.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tremorfa use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tremorfa. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
