About our toilet chip repair in Waun-Lwyd
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 tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Waun-Lwyd
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NP23 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
