How we handle toilet chip repair in Wem
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Wem?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
