Toilet chip repair in Welborne without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Welborne
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Welborne?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
