Toilet chip repair near Y Waun

Toilet chip repair in Y Waun, done in place

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 can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Y Waun get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
