Toilet chip repair at your home in Tycoch

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tycoch as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Tycoch

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Tycoch?

We do. We send a technician to Tycoch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Tycoch and the rest of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
