Toilet chip repair in Ynyshir

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ynyshir

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ynyshir

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Ynyshir, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
