Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bryn
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bryn as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Bryn
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bryn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Bryn
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Bryn?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Bryn
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
