Toilet chip repair in Isle of Whithorn without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t 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 the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Isle of Whithorn
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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Isle of Whithorn
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
