Toilet chip repair in Waunfawr without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
