Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Warninglid
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Warninglid
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Warninglid?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Warninglid. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Warninglid. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Warninglid, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
