How we handle toilet chip repair in Higher Wheelton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Higher Wheelton: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Higher Wheelton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
