About our toilet chip repair in Waterlane
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Waterlane
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Waterlane
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Waterlane?
We do. We send a technician to Waterlane for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
