Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Weir, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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 regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Weir. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Weir
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
Across the UK, so Weir is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Weir

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
