About our toilet chip repair in Prickwillow

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Prickwillow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Prickwillow

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Prickwillow. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Prickwillow

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
