About our toilet chip repair in Poolstock
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Poolstock
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poolstock
If you manage property in Poolstock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Poolstock
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
