Toilet chip repair for Ystrad homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Ystrad

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ystrad as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
