How it works

- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our toilet chip repair in Watnall
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Watnall questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Watnall. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
