Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. In a village or hamlet like Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the toilet chip repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Landlord and trade work in Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Ynysybwl and Coed-y-cwm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
