Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Northwood, Isle of Wight
Toilet chip repair in and around Northwood: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in Northwood, done in place
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. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Northwood as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Northwood
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair

Northwood: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northwood
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for 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 whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
