About our toilet chip repair in Yr Hôb

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yr Hôb and across Wrexham. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wrexham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yr Hôb as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Yr Hôb questions

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
