Toilet chip repair at your home in Great Warley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Great Warley
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
